Care . . .

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/25/a-

productivity-scorecard-for-115th-congress/

Cowboy commando; conspiracy fantasists just are no good to me. 
Libertarians imagine that they’re self-made heroes entirely.
Greed is good. Greed is great in my own hands.
Better in mine than yours.
Can we just care for each other?
Why do we need bigger boats?
All the square footage in this whole world
Can’t save one life, can’t bring hope.
Disadvantages just don’t exist
If our share’s bigger than his.
Cunning and shrewdly calculating masterfully manipulative.
Never afflicted by conscience or guilt, keeping the prize in full view.
Never say never. Never say die 
Unless you mean someone else.
Bigotry, high crimes, paranoia, cynics and primitives mystical.
Cultural warriors in their own heads. Mythical anarchist hierarchy.
Seeking some golden age now long-gone,
Blind to the fact things change.

Doubles . . .

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/sports/tennis/doubles-tennis-ATP-finals.html

The week was a good one.

The weather was nice.

Many hours did I practice

Wanted to be precise 

In performance of the pieces

We'd agreed upon for that night.

On arrival, just one hour ahead

Of the one at which we would start,

Something strange, seemed was brewing.

Our mere presence surprising, 

Was causing a real disconcert.

The appearance of a fellow troubadour

Brought the feeling of sickness inside.

He was there, just like us, to play music tonight.

At the sight of each other, we sighed.

It's got to the point it's mundane, with this place,

A routine like a supper that's cooked.

You see now, once again, for whatever the reason,

She most certainly has double-booked.

Almost . . .

 

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/almost-complete

No matter how much effort made,

You can't expect the earth to move.

There's not always the fairest trade,

Least not one of which you will approve.

The hope is all will find great delight.

But in spite of your input they just can't quite.

Epilog . . .

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/the-end-book

ep·i·logue

/ˈepəˌlôɡ,ˈepəˌläɡ/

Learn to pronounce

noun

1. a section or speech at the end of a book or play that serves as a comment on or a conclusion to what has happened.

   "the meaning of the book's title is revealed in the epilogue"

   
   

   
   

Epilog was originally the middle-section (piano solo) for Third-Hand Intelligence, pre-OHO's treatment of the song on Gazebo. This recording is a particular favorite of mine. I like it's clarity, crisp intonation of each instrument, simplicity of the small ensemble and the dynamic performance which renders the scattered errors irrelevant. But that's just ME.

Envy . . .

 

https://www.inc.com/rhett-power/9-ways-to-combat-social-media-envy.html

To envy is only human,

Doesn't take a special man

Or a woman, for that matter,

We just do the best we can.

When we happen to possess

Something that brings us joy complete,

A higher satisfaction level'd

Be difficult to meet.

Glorious . . .

https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/freedom-bird.html

 

Tommy came from far across the sea

Looking for some opportunity.

In his land there's almost none.

He's only one of many millions.

No one told him streets were paved with gold

Like they used to in the days of old.

But he heard from some who knew

Of all the things to do,

He could accomplish

Searching for glorious freedom 

Here in America.

He can be anything

He wants to be.

With his wealth accumulating, 

And he's got every liberty,

Deep in his heart he knows he

Never will be free.

Ravi took a wife they had a child

A year or two before they came stateside.

And he had such big brown eyes,

Too young to realize what he was seeing.

On the surface one would never guess

That this family wasn't quite as blessed

As you might believe they were.

He isn't sure of her

Or where they're heading.

Someone from oh so long ago still remains

Firmly embedded in his soul.

She wasn't of the same persuasion as he.

His friends and family convinced him

That it couldn't be.

Broken hearts take time.

Broken hearts take time to heal.

When he finally felt the strength he'd need

To live the kind of life he'd like to lead.

As the heartache dulled with time,

Made up his mind,

Back when he married.

Realizing that he'd never find 

The true companion that he had in mind,

Like the one he almost had.

He placed a wanted ad

In the local paper.

        Black & White Then Back

Wisdom . . .

https://depositphotos.com/14001462/stock-illustration-cartoon-wise-man-laptop.html

Sometimes I think I've got the stuff

Which makes one feel he's up to snuff.

Some do  think that money is

The thing that makes them all the biz.

But I know more, by far, than this.

Money brings only temporary bliss.

Pure joy has roots in a much better system

And now with age, I've attained such wisdom.
